**Allow [[Form|form]] to be saved independently of the [[Form Type - Page|page]]** is a form setting that allows the form to assume [[Form Mode - Edit|edit]],​ [[Form Mode - View|view]],​ and [[Form Mode - Add|add]] [[Form Mode|modes]] (assuming the form has the appropriate [[Security|security]] to do so) independently of what mode the page is in.

Independent save controls are commonly used to break up a page into more easily digestible sections. For example, on a page about an account, you may have a section at the top for basic account information,​ then at the bottom, have a list of the contacts [[Relationship Table|related]] to the account. If you didn't want the contact information edited at the same time as the account information,​ you could disable the [[Form Setting - Enable Page Save and Add Controls|page edit button]] and enable independent save controls on the upper basic account information section.
